Abstract

Policy Points

  • Current telehealth policy discussions are focused on synchronous video and audio telehealth visits delivered by traditional providers and have neglected the growing number of alternative telehealth offerings.

  • These alternative telehealth offerings range from simply supporting traditional brick-and-mortar providers to telehealth-only companies that directly compete with them.

  • We describe policy challenges across this range of alternative telehealth offerings in terms of using the appropriate payment model, determining the payment amount, and ensuring the quality of care.
